Road Show by SMU - Exhibition on Stroke Awareness

Some article of stroke

This exhibition is a project raised by student from SMU doing on the module leadership and teambuilding.leaders enrolled in the Leadership Teambuilding (LTB) course engage in a large-scale community service project, giving them hands-on, real-life experiences that facilitate the learning of team dynamics, situational leadership, negotiation and communication skills.

For this their topic is set on stroke awarness. Their objective is to raise awarness to the public for stroke and with that hopefully it will reduce the impact of stroke on our community. Stroke is reversible if identified within the first 3hr.

they had initially work with a hospital but the person in charge is on long term leave so as a result they have to find a new location for their event and they send out mass email to all the CC. Iris which is one of my friend is had approach me upon knowning that i have been in the grassroots for sometime and this is the start of all collabration

during the event itself, many of the public especially residents from the mid 40s to the 80s had actually been able to understand more about stroke through the brochues and exhibition placed in the cc during the morning prime time for the market nearby

some of them were very thankful that they have a chance to learn all these right in the heartland which is right at their doorstep, in jurong spring CC. All the brochues and flyers in two languages english and chinese so the senior citizen can also get a chance to read up on stroke and prevention.

a complimentary health screening is provided for the residents who came for the exhibition and they were advised on their lifestyle (too high sugar intake , smoking, drinking and high blood pressure etc). These will help them change their lifestyle to a better one and tell them their risk of getting stroke. On average, there will be 1 resident who came for the exibition and health screening every
2 and a half min.

Jurong Spring YEC by providing the logistic and venue support is very fortunate and grateful that the collbration bring in a win win situation for the residents and as well as to allow students to be able to complete their coursework. We welcome more collabrations with schools and even tertiary insitutions to approach us in having a collabration event that will benefit our youth and community.
